I see that Maplin have a 5000watt mains inverter on offer for £350
instead of £600

What possible use is it? How many people have got 12v batteries capable
of delivering 500 amps for more than a few minutes (more likely a few
*seconds"!)?

It worries me that the uninitiated are going to buying these things to
run lots of mains equipment off their car batteries - only to find that
they're totally useless. [I note that there are no reviews!]
